Check it out in white, looks better than silver.

Last section from the review:

There is nothing like the GT2 RS and that’s an almost entirely good thing. Even so, unless you always dreamt of being a human cannonball, a GT3RS offers a purer driving experience, and the fact that you’ll have to part with around the price of a new standard 911 for the upgrade at first seems hard to justify.

On the other hand find another car that goes like this for this kind of money, and combines that with drive it any day, park it anywhere ease of ownership. In fact, don’t bother because it doesn’t exist. I expect the majority of the 500 lucky people who will get to own a GT2 RS will be Porsche completists, unable to bear the idea that someone other than them is enjoying Stuttgart’s ultimate road car, at least until the 918 comes out. And enjoy it they will for driving a GT2 RS is one of few experiences you know will lodge in your brain forever. It really is that good.

I laughed at the "park it anywhere ease of ownership" part. Yeah, if you live in Monaco then maybe its true.

That's a nicely written review. I like the comparison to the 458 -- the GT2RS is lighter and delivers more torque at much lower rpm. And the McLaren F1 is within 0.5 sec to 100 mph. Amazing. Amazingly amazing.

I really like the look of the hood on the white car. I wonder what it will cost.

The '2RS may seem overpriced relative to the rest of the Porsche lineup, but it's not when compared to its competition from Ferrari (faster than 599 GTO), Lambo, etc. Harris says the only faster car he's driven is the Veyron, though certainly Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg and other hypercars (all of which cost several multiples of the '2 RS price) will beat it as well.

My point is, let's give Porsche credit where due. If you're in the market for a supercar, the '2 RS is actually a bargain.

Carrera GT

I certainly hope Porsche isn't contemplating "parting out" the GT2RS and making the hood and fenders optional.

Comparing the GT2RS with more expensive cars opens the door to comparing it with less expensive cars like the ZR1. Whatever quality the 911 possesses that makes it a cut above the Corvette would have to apply to separating the 911 from the Italia or Fiorano. Of course the pricing of a Murcielago or Zonda or Konig...thing pertains to marketing, not cost or value, so comparing any car to the Reventon or Zonda or McLaren F1 is to say that money is no object, which rather defeats the comparison.

I think the comparison is solely to the 2010 GT3RS and I don't know that extra power and torque of the 2011 GT2RS will balance the books.

Where was that Downtown or Beverly Hills?

I stop by Beverly Hills a lot because we are over there for my better-half's doctors. They seem to be pretty nice but they brown nose to hell and back and they don't seem to know what they are talking about. Downtown LA on the other hand seem to have sales people who know their product and lore better. At least that is what I have encountered. Your Mileage May Vary!

I still think that Turbos aren't as rewarding to drive. In particular in the throttle control in corners. Having stated this.... This car does sound epic!!!
